A walkConwy Valley Ramblers & Coleridge in Wales Festival.

Coleridge walked Penmaenmawr mountain, on the North Wales coast, on a scorching hot day in 1794. They forgot to take water on the climb. A few years later, when writing the great poem Rime of The Ancient Mariner, he vividly remembered the experience and wrote the words:

Water, water everywhere
And all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere
Nor any drop to drink
